Finn Balor and Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Owens and Rhyno

Result: Finn Balor and Samoa Joe defeat Kevin Owens and Rhyno via pinfall.

Rating: 2.8 out of 5 stars

  • Joe hit Rhyno a few times before tagging in Balor. Rhyno then tagged in Owens, who hit a few hard chops on the future NXT Champion.
  • Owens continued to dominate Balor, hitting another chop and sending him out of the ring.
  • We come back to see Owens still in control, who tagged in Rhyno. He held up Finn for a long suplex.
  • Owens came back in and continued to control Balor. He hit a five knuckle shuffle that’s gold every time.
  • Joe would finally come in and go after Rhyno. After a distraction from Owens, Rhyno took control and tagged in Owens.
  • After a clothesline from Joe, he would get pop-up powerbombed.
  • Balor then connected with a Pele Kick. As the two got up, Rhyno hit Owens with a Gore!
  • Balor then went to the top rope and hit Coup de Grace on Owens for the win.

Rob’s Note: Solid match but a little surprising to see Owens take the clean loss. Can Balor do it again this Saturday?
